They e-mailed me first, and told me to call them ASAP.

Thanks, She called me first, I wasn't able to answer so she put a voicemail and like 5 min after that she emailed me to call her ASAP.

I see, it's interesting that they have decided to go back to calling first

Congrats guys! Is it weird that they seemed to have gone backwards in terms of WGPA? They went from 3.97 to 3.99

Did anyone with a GPA < 3.90 recieve an offer off the waitlist (english stream)?

[dshmed 11]

Just wondering if anyone has called the office recently to get an idea of the waitlist movement...i.e. do they still have many/few offers to send?

[roro2555 46]

I think it's fair to say that when they have vacancies they send out invites to fill those spots. They don't just have spots lying around that they will fill. So when people from wait list turn down offers that's when they make new offers. To be honest I'm pretty sure they are nearing the end of their list. Only people who decide last minute to pull their seat or don't meet the admissions requirement will open up more spots. Either way if you got an interview this round you will probably get one again and it's just a matter of practising really hard and killing it so you're in the highest interview group. Feel free to PM me if you want advice for your upcoming apps! Always here to help! I can only imagine how exhausting this process must be!

I think she may have called me first because I had emailed her earlier in the day.

Seems like class is pretty much full by now

[doctorfresh 41]

Generally yes. But the deadline for deferrals is approaching and some people may still get accepted to out of province schools. So there may be just a few more spots left in my opinion. The last known GPA we stopped at was 3.97, so if you're close, you may still have a shot.

It seems odd how this year they only seemed to go through first interview score and very few of the second

We don't know that for a fact, just speculation there are several ppl who don't write on this forum...so we will never know exactly what is going on with the waitlist. Remain hopeful!

I personally know someone who just declined their uOttawa acceptance! One spot is opened, there's still hope, hang in there

"Good" or "bad" waitlist?

[Dr.Dreams 0]

So it loos like the english waitlist has not moved much (based on forum activity) since mid June and we got some news that someone had just declined their offer a week ago.  That being said I wanted to know if anyone knows of others that have gotten off the good waitlist since then as well as how many good waitlist interview groups there are?  For example we went through the first good waitlist interview group and it is looking like we are at the second with the last person to get accepted at a wGPA 3.97.
